Match Report

TTA report

Only around 2,000 saw Thistle enjoy the bulk of the possession and chances but the St Mirren defence was a tough nut to crack. Rae and Cowan had already gone close before Hainey let loose just over from 30 yards. Niven had some fine saves then Rae missed a sitter but he got the winner 7 minutes from time finishing off a Cowan back-heel.
